Overview
• Meeting covered nominations, attendance/roll call and rule proposals to be
voted next week.
• 12 confirmed teams (captain votes) present for tonight's business.
• Member survey tallies: 64% supported an "object-vow" rule and 68% supported
timeouts — both will be included in next-week proposals.
Attendance & roll call
• Roll call conducted and team representation recorded; organizers counted 12
votes/captains for tonight.
• Several teams reported 1 or multiple captains present; consensus used to
confirm voting eligibility for next meeting.
• Captains instructed to check with their teammates about the proposed rule
changes before next week's vote.
Elections & nominations
• President nominations discussed; John Lombardi was nominated to run for
President vs T.J. Hart. TJ won 8-4 by Parer Ballot.
• Vice President: pat Hallman ran unopposed.
• Treasurer/Secretary: two nominations (Mark Mecca and Mike Schatz). A written/
paper vote was held and Mike Schatz won 7–5 and will remain Secretary/
Treasurer.
• Some confusion during nomination procedure (opposed/raise-hands vs paper
ballots) was resolved by conducting the paper.
• Rule proposals (to be voted next week)
• A package of proposed rule changes will be presented and voted on next
meeting; participants were asked to confirm positions with teammates
beforehand.
• Key proposals to appear on the ballot:
◦ Adoption of an object-ball rule (member poll: 64% in favor).
◦ Timeouts implementation (member poll: 68% in favor).
◦ Change playoff structure to one division (all 12 teams seeded, e.g., 1 vs
12, with discussion of single vs double elimination).
◦ Restriction on player communication during playoffs: players may not
communicate from a playing position to teammates/captain during playoff
matches (exceptions and enforcement discussed).
◦ Playoff seating: shooters may be required to sit at a separate table away
from their team during certain playoff matches (e.g., finals).
• Voting logistics clarified: each captain receives a vote; written/paper ballots will
be used when multiple nominees exist for a position.
Event problems raised (Banquet / prizes / catering)
• Prize distribution at a recent Banquet event was reported as problematic:
multiple attendees reported prizes being taken without proper recording.
◦ There was no consolidated winners list posted; organizers and some
captains reported stolen/missing prizes and confusion during distribution.
◦ Suggestion recorded: compile and publish a list of winning ticket
numbers and winner names (do not stick numbers on boxes) to prevent
theft and disputes.
• Catering issues at the Banquet event: food service shut down early 6:00pm ,
some attendees (there were some named examples) arrived late and did not
receive food.
◦ Proposed fixes discussed: change of venue/caterer for next event, keep
food accessible (steam table/freezer handling), and ensure staff know
distribution procedures.
Engagement & logistics ideas
• Suggestions to improve participant engagement at events: outdoor games (horn
hole, horseshoes) and other entertainment ideas were proposed.
• Administrative notes: ensure paper ballots, pens, and an organized winner list
are available at events; captains to confirm team representation in advance.
Meeting outcome & next steps
• All proposed rule changes and playoff-structure modifications will be formally
presented and voted next week; captains must consult teammates and bring
positions.
• Several operational action points were flagged for follow-up (prize-listing
process, catering/venue selection, ballot logistics) and will be addressed before
next meeting.
